Security Operations Lead / SOC Manager

Security Operations Lead, CISSP, CISM, SOC Manager, Remote

Security Operations Lead required to work for a Global Professional Services company based in Central London. However, this role will mainly be based from the comfort of your own home but there may be some travel. This will be to the likes of Central London every now and again, and Europe from time to time. ALL travel will be completely expensed from the moment you leave your doorstep!

Please understand this before reading any further – this role is for a jack of all trades, master of none in the world of security. It is so versatile with lots of variety and no two days will be the same. If you are looking for a very structured environment where everything is absolutely in place, this is NOT the role for you. However, due to the methodical approach required in the position, anyone who is ex-forces would be welcomed! This is not essential but just a mention! 

The Security Operations Lead is responsible for overseeing and managing the day-to-day operations of the Global IT Security department. This role involves ensuring the effective handling of security incidents, managing security operations, and leading a team of security professionals to maintain a secure environment.
